Libraries OF oxford and Cambridge, and the

that there il a principle OF liberty that
Americans never heard of before, and II
/, against the beautiful philosopbic prin-
eiples of the fathers Of the Republic.
They assert that there is no right In
property after it has been earned Tor the
benefit of the wife and the children by
the hardest labor that can make a small
banking capital out of the sweat OF the
laborer's brow. That is, the skilled and
intelligent and industrious laborer, out OF
whose class the great Americans have
been made. must be subjected TO a rule
that degrades him to the level OF the
sloth and the loafer and the political
hummer. because these latter can use a
secret society to grade his work down to
their standard and make him the slave
of such men as George, McGlynn, Pente-
cost & Co. The real working men OF
America have nothing to do with such
false philosophers. Some of them may be
mi.led for a time, but that is all.
There is no denying these facts IL
the working men of America were tofol-

ment all the power over the land and the
railroads, the telegraphs and the mono
But where would the working men be!
The Intellectual and principal men
would have all the power, and 1t would
be merely a REPETITION of the despoiism OF
the olden time. Then the aristocrats
owned everything, and the working men
were slaves.
And the moment you take the George
idea and give the
the ownership, YOU retro

dom has fought for ten centuries.

II is useless for some of the papers TO
discuss the moral bearings OF the ovation
given to Boss Shepherd, in Washington.
In some quarters there has been a
psychological analysis Of the charac-
ter of the Wsshingtonisns to prove
the deprsvity OF community
that could accord a welcome to such
a bad man as the Ex-Governor Of the
District who so managed the affairs that
the republican form Of government was
abolished and the District put under the
autocratic control OF three commits
sions. whose oracular will Is the
law unto the Washingtonians, ma
tive and transient. II may be
that Boss Shepherd is not a real angel
and that. as the Alcalde of the district, he
was not an ideal ruler, but the true
ANALYSIS of il, and what contains the ex.
crse for the boss and for the people is
that he made Washington a beautiful

ARE WE

This is the question that we address
TO all voters.
II YOU are not Democrats, If you do
not believe that the Democratic party
carries the safety of the principles OF
freedom, then you are perfectly excusable
for Joining any opposing coalition that
may defeat the Democracy. But why
should you oppose your own party when
after a long struggle against the enemies
of popular freedom, it has at last won
the victory and fortified itself in power
Is it spite that prompts you, or per
sonal prejudice, or q sense OF wrong IN
dividually of any sort.
These are not considerations that SEN
sible and patriotic citizens allow them
selves to be influenced by when, as citi-
zens they are called on to act for the
preservation of their liberties.
We need not explain what Mshoneism
means.
We need not explain what the pretence
OF a defeated party is whose only chance
is the lying capacity of its venomou'
champions, who had not the plea of hon
esty 10 hold the Government, and lost il

They are beaten, and their pretences
